As the standoff between right winged followers of Cliven Bundy in Nevada comes to an end, one has to wonder, who is behind this madness? Is this a poor farmer standing up to a big oppressive government or is there something even deeper than that?
According to various sites, Bundy is being used as a pawn by the Koch Brothers:
Koch Groups Back Rancher Making Violent Threats Against Federal Gov’t
Cliven Bundy: right-wing extremist domestic terrorist lawbreaker
Armed Right-Wing Militia Members Descend On Nevada To Help Rancher Defy Court Order
Right-Wing Media Eagerly Promote Cliven Bundy and His Anti-Federal Faceoff
Right Wing Terrorists Poised to Spark 2nd American Revolution
The Bundy Ranch, OathKeepers, and the Koch Brothers…the 1%’s revolution?
The same people who are blaming President Barack Obama for this fiasco also called Occupy protesters communists, socialist, stinky, unkempt and hippies. Even though Occupy also protested against President Obama, these people hate Occupy.
The difference between both the protesters in Nevada and Occupy Wall Street? Not one member of Occupy promoted violence. As a matter of fact, Occupy never demanded the dismantling of the government but to take it back from the right wingers and corporatists. They also told Occupiers not to bring firearms to their camp while the folks in Nevada are armed to the teeth.
